I have a home built rudder on my single expedition and it seem to work ok, at least I like it. I have also built the peddels and I think that they are much better than and of the comercial l foot pegs that I have tried. If ou want to see some pictures email me. Pictures of my boat are in the single expedition area of Nicks page.
